Monday Musings

Just some random musings for Monday morning.

-I know it’s the last day of October, but I’m incredibly excited to buy Malcolm a Christmas stocking. I’m also wondering if he’ll climb our Christmas tree.

-I slept 10 hours on Friday night. I also recently had another dream that I was pregnant with twins. Strange.

-I cut mine and Jimmy’s hair this weekend. I’ve been cutting Jimmy’s hair for about two years, but I just recently started trimming my own. I like going to a salon for a cut, but I didn’t feel like leaving the house after a busy week.

-Jimmy and I were recently discussing what it’s like to live with someone with hearing loss. I feel bad that I constantly have him repeat everything he says or I repeat everything he says to make sure I heard him correctly. We get a good laugh when I randomly speak really loudly because I can’t hear myself that well.

-I’m excited for Thanksgiving. Does anyone watch Punkin Chunkin? It’s a TV show on the Science Channel where people create ways to fling pumpkins across a field and whoever gets their pumpkin the furthest wins.

-I asked Jimmy to hang a mirror in one of our rooms this weekend and he accidentally drilled through our 1970s recessed doorbell. I guess I shouldn’t have picked that spot on the wall!

-Lola has the uncanny ability go always go #2 in the middle of four-way stops and intersections in our neighborhood when I’m walking her. I think she waits for the most awkward time and place on purpose. Good thing she’s cute 😉

Two Bible verses I’m currently loving:

1. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

2. Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. Luke 18:1 (NIV)

One book I’m currently reading:

1. The Blue Cotton Gown: A Midwife’s Memoir by Patricia Harmon
